Chapter 58: How come you're so well-behaved today?

How could Li Jiaci possibly actually go buy powder for Wang Yingna?

He did all this merely to prevent Wang Yingna from harming herself.

And when he finished his work here, Wang Yingna, with an urgent expression, used her gaze to ask him when he would go buy powder, at which point he simply ignored her.

He just sat by the bed, looking at Wang Yingna.

Only when Wang Yingna tried to bang her head against the wall or harm herself would he intervene.

And upon seeing Wang Yingna in that state.

Li Jiaci also involuntarily recalled the feeling of quitting powder together with his brothers in his previous life.

Better dead than alive.

Perhaps words cannot describe that feeling.

It felt as if thousands upon thousands of steel needles were prickling all over inside his head.

It felt as if countless ants were gnawing at his flesh and bones.

It felt as if an invisible giant hand were stirring together a person's five viscera and six bowels...

Li Jiaci pressed down on the shoulder of that guy who was desperately trying to break free of his bonds and bang his head against the wall, pinning her firmly to the ground.

"You said you didn't want to worry your brother, didn't you?"

"You said you didn't want to die like your mother over this thing, did you?"

Li Jiaci looked down at Wang Yingna and said: "Now it's just this much pain, and you can't bear it? Then aren't all the things you told me just nonsense?"

Upon hearing Li Jiaci's words.

The gaze of Wang Yingna, who had been struggling violently, suddenly cleared.

But soon this clarity faded, and she began to struggle violently again.

Her strength was terrifying; even Li Jiaci, a man seven feet tall, had to exert great force to press her down again.

"Wang Yingna."

"You said you wanted to quit."

"So don't make me look down on you, okay?"

Li Jiaci panted: "Just hold on a bit longer, it won't be painful soon..."

Wang Yingna sobbed in pain.

Tears and snot streamed down, her appearance pitiful to the extreme.

And upon seeing her in that state.

Li Jiaci finally understood why this girl repeatedly failed to quit powder.

Given Wang Zhen's doting affection for her, seeing his sister like this, one can't know how heartbroken he would be.

Probably within minutes of seeing his sister's state, he would have someone go buy powder for her and let her eat her fill.

But Li Jiaci is not Wang Zhen.

He certainly won't give up on making her quit powder just because she looks like that.

Moreover, he knows that only by letting her quit completely can he truly help her.

That night.

Wang Yingna was tormented by withdrawal symptoms to the point of near death.

Li Jiaci was likewise worn out.

Until the sky showed fish-belly white, Wang Yingna only fell into a dazed sleep from exhaustion.

And Li Jiaci was likewise exhausted, collapsing helplessly beside Wang Yingna, panting violently for a while before falling still.

In a daze.

Li Jiaci had a dream.

In the dream, he seemed to have become Sun Wukong pressed under Five Elements Mountain.

That feeling of being unable to breathe woke him up.

Opening his eyes, he looked up to see a pair of eyes full of grievance and resentment staring at him without blinking.

Moreover, Wang Yingna pressed her entire body onto his.

"What are you doing?"

Li Jiaci instinctively pushed her away, panting a few times: "Are you trying to crush me?"

"Ugh..."

Wang Yingna let out two "ugh" sounds, her face full of resentment.

Seeing this, Li Jiaci realized he had fallen asleep yesterday without noticing and forgotten to untie Wang Yingna.

At that moment.

He didn't think much, hurriedly helping Wang Yingna remove the towel from her mouth.

"Oh..."

Wang Yingna took a deep breath, turned her head to look at Li Jiaci, and snapped: "You, you're crazy? Why did you tie me up like this?"

This guy obviously doesn't remember what happened last night.

Moreover, he doesn't know why he had Li Jiaci tie him up like this.

She only knows that when she woke up, her body was soaked with sweat and her hands and feet were bound.

Fortunately, seeing a familiar person lying nearby, otherwise she would have thought she'd been kidnapped by some villain.

Li Jiaci gave her a glance, and while helping her untie, said: "If I didn't tie you up like this, would I just watch you self-harm?"

"I..."

Wang Yingna stared blankly.

The anger inside instantly dissipated by half.

She tentatively asked: "Was I going to self-harm last night?"

"What else?"

Li Jiaci casually tossed the removed bedsheet to one side: "I'm just bored, tearing the bedsheet to tie you up for fun?"

Hearing Li Jiaci say that.

Wang Yingna also felt a bit guilty.

She originally wondered whether to apologize to Li Jiaci.

Who knows.

Li Jiaci immediately said: "I don't even know where you, woman, got such strength; it's like trying to hold down a pig about to be thrown onto the slaughter table—no matter how you press, you can't keep it down."

The anger that had just dissipated again filled the chest.

Wang Yingna lifted her leg and kicked at Li Jiaci, angrily saying: "You're the pig!"

Li Jiaci swiftly grabbed her ankle.

"Do you want to repay kindness with enmity?"

Li Jiaci didn't indulge her at all, directly holding her ankle and standing up, pulling her off balance.

"Let go of me, let go of me..."

Wang Yingna anxiously shouted: "If you don't let go, I'll…… stop, stop, itchy, itchy…… haha, you're crazy, haha…… itchy……"

Although he was wary of her identity.

But that doesn't mean Li Jiaci can tolerate this woman without limits.

And at that moment, he also didn't indulge Wang Yingna, until she, in tears and snot flowing, softened and admitted fault, did he release her delicate ankle.

Wang Yingna pulled back her foot, full of resentment, saying: "Li Jiaci, you bastard!"

"Still scolding?"

Li Jiaci subconsciously lowered his gaze to her small feet.

And upon seeing his gaze.

Wang Yingna's heart also jolted, and she hurriedly hid both feet under the blanket.

"Hmph."

Li Jiaci snorted and laughed, then said: "If you dare to treat your lifesaver like this again, I'll definitely let you experience a feeling even more stimulating than withdrawal."

"Li……"

Wang Yingna still wanted to scold him.

But Li Jiaci gave her a glance, and she immediately gave in, only daring to mutter a few words to herself.

And at this time.

Li Jiaci also said to her: "The hardest day is basically over."

"From now on, it won't be that hard."

"Wait until tomorrow morning, you can finish the box of medicine I gave you, and you'll feel much better."

"Wait until ten days later, there won't be such strong withdrawal reactions as before; even if it occurs, it's basically just psychological craving."

Li Jiaci looked at Wang Yingna and said: "And these ten days are also the most critical moment; no matter what, you must endure."

"Hmm……"

Wang Yingna said: "I'll listen to you."

Seeing her obedient appearance, Li Jiaci was a bit surprised.

"This guy has always been arrogant and unruly."

"Even when I talk about serious matters, she usually ignores me; today, what's wrong? Why is she so obedient?"
